Episode Summary
Ally decided that in order for the firm to get out of the financial crisis it's going through, someone will have to be let go. She chooses Jenny, who between all the lawyers of the firm had the least number of clients and experience. Glenn takes Jenny's dismissal offensively and decides to quit, taking all his clients with him. Ally accepts his resignation, but Victor convinces her to hire him back since the firm can't afford to lose any clients. Glenn and Jenny decide to start a new firm together and leave Cage, Fish & McBeal once and for all. Now the other lawyers will have to do extra work to make up for the loss. Among the changes Ally is making on the firm, she wants Nelle to be nicer and asks her to perform at the bar, something she has never done before. Afraid of embarrassing herself, Nelle goes to Ling for help. They decide to have backing vocals, a plan that backfires when the singer who was going to dub Nelle suddenly loses her voice and Elaine has Claire Otoms to replace her. That's right. Claire Otoms is back. This time she wants legal representation because she was fired for sexual harassment from her firm. As the case goes on, Richard starts to see the inner beauty of Claire and decides to hire her as an office assistant. Meanwhile, Ally also has problems at home when Maddie starts asking questions about sex and insists she and Victor demonstrate her what a french kiss is.moreless
